The past few weeks have seen Bitcoin<\/a> consolidate in a tight range between $8,000 and $10,000. Every attempt at breaking the range, in both directions, has been squarely rejected.<\/p>\n

Yet analysts are starting to see an impending breakout in the upward direction, citing fundamental trends instead of the precarious technical situation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin could soon see a “significant move higher” due to this factor<\/h2>\n

With Bitcoin performing rather well as a global pandemic ravages the world and one of the worst economic recessions in modern history is expected, more and more eyes have landed on the cryptocurrency as a viable investment. Thus, many more have begun to postulate how it fits into macroeconomic trends.<\/p>\n

Rob Koyfman, CEO and founder of markets data firm Koyfin and a former Goldman Sachs<\/a> vice president, released an article<\/a> on Jun. 15 outlining his thoughts on markets.<\/p>\n

The core of the article is that the U.S. dollar is weakening \u2014 and may continue to weaken \u2014 as the Federal Reserve commits<\/a> to unlimited quantitative easing to rectify the poor economic conditions:<\/p>\n

“The Fed\u2019s commitment to prolonged use of QE may represent a major turning point for the US Dollar. A break below [a close-by level] would confirm a major decline for the USD with implications across asset classes.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Koyfman explained that the leading cryptocurrency could benefit from this potential scenario, writing that: “USD weakness may be a catalyst for Bitcoin breaking out to new highs.”<\/p>\n

The expectations of a falling U.S. dollar come after Raoul Pal<\/a> \u2014 the former head of hedge fund sales at Goldman Sachs and the CEO of Real Vision \u2014 argued that the U.S. dollar is primed to erupt higher.<\/a><\/p>\n

Pal sees that as bullish for Bitcoin, as it would result in the fiat system “breaking” and the implementation of a \u201cNon-US Dollar dominated currency system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Slow on-chain trends could combat bull case<\/h2>\n

There are on-chain trends that could temporarily combat the Bitcoin bull case.<\/p>\n

Below is an image of the blockchain analytics firm IntoTheBlock<\/a>‘s Bitcoin signal dashboard. Three out of the company's seven core signals are currently printing “bearish” signs: net network growth, which tracks the momentum of the underlying Bitcoin blockchain; in the money, which tracks the profitability of BTC holders; and large transactions, which tracks the number of transactions above $100,000.<\/p>\n

Adding to this, founder of blockchain data firm ByteTree Charlie Morris observed that Bitcoin is primed to move lower due to a “dire” on-chain situation:<\/p>\n

\u201c1-week network velocity down to 454%, 5-wk 556%. Tx value down, av tx size down, fees down, MRI shot to pieces. Why the lack of interest? Can\u2019t see price holding up. Fair value <$7k,\u201d Morris\u00a0wrote<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
